“Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.”
Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you — Paul's 'mature' (teleioi) are those aligned with his Christ-centered vision. 'Think' (phroneō, have this disposition) should be uniform. 'If in anything you think differently' (ei ti heteronōs phronēite) admits disagreement but frames it as correctable ignorance. 'God will reveal' (apokalyptō) promises divine instruction: truth emerges through God's action, not debate. This is magnanimous: Paul trusts God to align all minds.
